What are you doing for work if you dont mind my asking?

There are some jobs here that only pay $8-10K a year but those are generally held by high school students types.

Of corse that's the difference between a job and a career... A career is something that can sustain you in the long term.

An apartment like that would cost about two thirds of my monthly paycheck to rent here, and that is without the cost of water and electricity and garbage disposal included. I can't even afford a one room apartment.
Anyway at the moment I am working as a security guard because there really is no other job available for me at the moment, 2 years of metalworking experience means nothing, the fact that I know computers inside and out means nothing and my skills as a recon infantryman aren't really marketable.

Because my knee went that put an end to my prospective military career, so there went that plan, so basically the spot I am in is my own fault on one hand and faulty anatomy on the other.

But I have not given up so it's back to school with me this fall.
